Program Overview

An internship in International Business offers candidates the opportunity to gain both professional and global experience. Placement areas include finance, law, marketing, import/export, fashion, and tourism. With strong business connections across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, Spain provides a diverse and dynamic environment for internships in this field. Beyond the workplace, the host city offers a rich cultural experience—from exploring historic neighborhoods and visiting iconic architecture to enjoying local cuisine or relaxing by the coast. Living in the heart of Catalonia allows participants to fully immerse themselves in Spanish life while building meaningful connections with locals. The Adelante Intern program supports this experience by combining hands-on work opportunities with daily language practice in an authentic setting. Each internship is tailored to the individual, taking into account your background, interests, qualifications, availability, and language level. This personalized approach not only strengthens your resume but also supports your journey toward greater confidence and fluency. Submit a $325 application deposit to secure your spot!

Alesia PCanada · June 2023

An amazing experience

I traveled from Canada to do a 3 month social media internship during my gap year and this was definitely something I will never forget. I've made a lot of memories, mostly good, some tough. My internship placement was exactly what I was hoping for, but unfortunately, there was a lot of disorganization within the spanish supervisor team as I had to move accommodations 3 times with little notice. But overall, i would do it again in a heartbeat, minus the mid accommodation ;)

I am an International Business major and part of my program was to work or study abroad. Since I knew I was going during the summer, working was my only option (what I preferred anyway) and I chose Barcelona because I knew that they have one of the more stable economies in Spain, so I figured working in an international business environment it would be my best option.
